Step back in time 50 years to sock hops and malt shakes or even further back to flappers and the roaring 20s... Streamline Antiques offers original items from Art Deco to the 50s from fiestaware to clocks and salt-and-pepper shakers. We visited a while back with our friend Becky and neeeded to leave so she wouldn't buy everything in the store. They also carry vintage clothing, jewelry, hand bags, pottery, and glass vases.

About the Blog

We created this blog to draw attention to one part of Boston's best neighborhood! It is diverse and hip. It offers so many shops, restaurants, and things to do. Where is it? It is a stretch of Dorchester on Dorchester Ave. between Fields Corner and Lower Mills, including Peabody Square/Ashmont Station and Melville Park. We like calling it Lower Dorchester or Lower Dot.
